Jesus addressed a letter to the Church of Thyatira, in which he promised the giving of the Morning Star and the authority to "rule them with a rod of
iron", to those who overcome.
Their where many occult and revelous parties in thyatira that was tied in with the trade and the social structure. This made it a difficult task for
the early church of Thyatira to not participate in Heathen customs. The specific Chastisment to the Thyratian Church from jesus is a warning against
Jezebel, Which relates to the wicked women in I Kings and II Kings.
Revelation 2:18-29 (King James Version)
18And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet
are like fine brass; 19I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the
first. 20Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach
and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and
she repented not. 22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their
deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give
unto every one of you according to your works. 24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which
have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28And I will give him the morning star. 29He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
